Abstract
This study analyzes Ibn Jinni’s role and contribution to Arabic semantics by surveying his ideas and opinions presented in his books, such as “al Muhtasab”- The Treasurer-, “al-Hasa’is”-The Particularity-, and “al- Munsif”-The Just Man. It discusses Ibn Jinni’s opinions on certain issues of semantics, such as, social semantics, morphological semantics, phonetic semantics, and grammatical semantics. It also points out Ibn Jinni’s views on the issue of utterance and meaning and the evidence that was used by Ibn Jinni to support his ideas and views. The study also presents Ibn Jinni’s life and the effect his teachers had on him as a linguist.
